Glycans are central to many biological processes, but efforts to define their functions at the molecular level have been frustrated by a lack of suitable technologies. Here we highlight chemical tools that are beginning to address this need.
聚糖在许多生物过程中起着核心作用,但由于缺乏合适的技术,在分子水平上定义其功能的努力一直受挫。在这里,我们重点介绍一些开始满足这一需求的化学工具。
